Cricket grounds on rent in Bangalore

Cricket as we all know is the most popular sport in India. Kapil dev’s men captured the imagination of millions after winning the 1983 world cup which was our first ever World Cup win. M.S.Dhoni did the same at home by winning the 2011 world cup. Until a decade back , cricket was not a viable career option for many as one had to be extremely skilled to get into the Indian team, however the passion for the sport was always there. With the advent of T20, especially the Indian Premier League this changed. People from big and small towns started to consider cricket as an attractive career option. In the last few auctions, domestic players like Murugan ashwin and KC Cariappa have gone for more than Rs.1 crore. Domestic players who have never played for India are earning well which will help them to focus solely on the sport rather than worry about providing for their families. This will help improve the quality of players coming through the domestic set up and so give more options to the selectors while selecting players for the national team. Due to the immense popularity of the sport, international matches are well attended thereby increasing the revenue of the Board of Control of Cricket in India(BCCI). This money is used to build and improve the existing infrastructure of cricket grounds all over the country.
